I certainly never planned to be in this position. Actually, I did. I followed the advice of a close friend who told me that after April it really made no sense to get into anything too serious because the summer was coming and at that point it’d be a better dating pool. Does that [...]
You might be familiar with the fact that Obama recently had to apologize for calling a woman attractive, but in case you don’t know the full story, during a Democratic National Committee fundraising lunch in Atherton, California, President Barack Obama called California Attorney General Kamala Harris the “best-looking” attorney general in the country. His exact quote: [...]
Earlier in the year, I almost ruined my relationship. I screwed up. Badly. I violated my boyfriend’s trust and when he found out (I told him), he was angry. No, I didn’t cheat, but what I did was really hurtful. There are more ways to betray your lover than to sleep with someone else. There [...]
My mother has been one of the most important blessings that God has bestowed upon me. Her maternal instincts, to her wisdom, humor, guidance, and tough love have aided in shaping the man you read before you today. Whether leading by example or speaking her mind (which she never has any issue offering opinions), she [...]
Last week, Dr. J wrote a post on the New NYC Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads. At some point during the day, a debate on the role of child support erupted in the comment section.

I don’t even think most men cheat, but I can’t ignore the overwhelming evidence that shows that some men cheat. Often times, we focus [...]
Last week, I wrote a post on 10 Tips Happily Married Men gave me on marriage. Of those 10 tips, only one received any significant amount of push back from mostly women readers. That was the following tip: Accept that other women are still attractive. This theme came up a few times. You’re beautiful and he loves [...]
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article for TheshopBlog regarding the increase of scorned men leaking nude pictures on social media, and why I thought it was corny. I wanted to share with the SBM fam for a cool read. Enjoy! I fear for the future of men in America. Not because of drugs, [...]
What’s good everyone! First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours from the SBM team! For those of us who partake in the gift giving tradition, there are many aspects to consider. I could go into a diatribe about how this season is more about giving than receiving for me, and [...]
